When you subscribe to Microsoft Intune, you can use mobile application management (MAM) with Yammer along with other apps. MAM allows you to manage and protect data in an app on a device even if it is not enrolled in mobile device management (MDM).

Manage Yammer with MAM

This feature is especially helpful for organizations where devices and apps are used for both work and personal use and the device is not enrolled in MDM.
